Newry, Mourne and Down District Council is seeking a consultancy company to design, develop and deliver the PEACEPLUS Thriving Together – Minority Community Support Programme: Sports for All across the Newry, Mourne and Down District Council area. The service will support children with disabilities from minority communities to participate in accessible sports and recreational activities. It will use inclusive sport, creative play and outdoor experiences to promote integration, orientation and wellbeing. The work falls within recreational, cultural and sporting services, education and training, and community, social and personal services. Delivery is in the United Kingdom, with the council as the public-sector buyer. The requirement is a community-focused support programme rather than the supply of equipment or construction works.

The procurement has reached tender: the council invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. It is a single-lot services contract under the light-touch regime. Questions had to be submitted by 26 August 2026 at 12:00, and tenders were due by 1 September 2026 at 12:00. Electronic submission was allowed through MultiQuote. The contract period is 7 September 2026 to 31 December 2026. The estimated value is £10,153.62 excluding VAT, or £12,184.34 including VAT. Evaluation is weighted 80% for quality and 20% for cost, with the detailed requirements and scoring set out in the request-for-quotation documentation. The opportunity is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises.

This opportunity suits a consultancy or community organisation with experience designing and delivering inclusive programmes for children with disabilities and minority communities. Strong candidates will need to provide a skilled inclusive sports facilitator and demonstrate the ability to deliver a varied programme of accessible sports, recreation, creative play and outdoor activities. Relevant capability includes adapting activities to different needs, supporting participation and wellbeing, and using sport to encourage integration and orientation. The requirement is suitable for smaller organisations and voluntary, community or social enterprises, making it relevant to specialist providers as well as established consultancies. Suppliers should be able to manage a holistic community programme, coordinate activities safely, and evidence practical experience of inclusive engagement and delivery.
